Currently running WJ full outers/hubs/brakes in the front (so no adapters).  Running adapters in the rear until I have a chance to get some 5x5" axle shafts and do a disc brake conversion.  I hate running adapters, but it's not the end of the world.

Don’t mean to hijack this thread but this is an interesting tidbit of tech here. So you are running a Dana 30 but with WJ knuckles and WJ unit bearings?

Yes, I’m running full WJ knuckles, brakes, unit bearings, etc. with original XJ D30 shafts.  I’m using the spacer kit that is necessary to re-align the knuckle to the center axis of the u-joint.  I’m also running a WJ master/booster and Wilwood manual proportioning valve for the rear (fully removed load sensing valve).

Yeah, I'm running the same. Been probably 5-8 years. I have a Ford 8.8 in the rear. I did do the Yukon upgrade shafts on an XJ. So, no spacers. The Yukon comes with 5on4.5 and 5on5.5. I plan to redrill to 5 on 5 on another XJ. Then adapt WJ rear brakes. Also looking to go to 13 inch rotors at some point.
